“Please watch the video I made for you and take action,” said Lang, adding, “60,000 wild, healthy and beautiful American Horses are brutally slaughtered each year.

“It’s time to BAN HORSE SLAUGHTER now. Truth: They’re shipped from the United States to Canada, Mexico, and Asia where they land on dinner plates around the world. Sounds CRAZY doesn’t it? Well, it’s happening now.

“That’s why I’ve joined [@horsesinourhands] to stop this complete insanity. I need 1000 or more of you to take action now! Horses have taught me important lessons about patience and unconditional love. I want to give back what they have given me. These beautiful souls need us now.

“Join me and send a message to your Legislators that killing them is wrong! It’s fast and easy… and we send the email for you. It’s guaranteed to land in their inbox!”
